Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 04, 2016

Spaceman Spiff will find that his nemesis is immune to the death ray blaster.

Did we start over? Back to the very beginning?

I can just hear the call of the chipmunk:“Alvin. ALvin. AAAALVIIIIIN.”

Don’t want to do report. Want to write the adventures of Spaceman Spiff. A Hemingway in the works

And how young and sweet Calvin looks!

A new, glorious schoolyear is starting!!

The pop up ad for one of the C&H books talked about “30 years of Calvin & Hobbes” but it was only around for 10 or so.

Ahhhh I have a report due later this morning. Spaceman Spiff to the rescue!

Last name? Do you mean “cooly”? That’s just an adverb. He cooly draws his blaster.

Spiff’s blaster is about to meet its match.

Calvin has a chin! Eventually, he will be round-headed with more spiky hair.

What? Why couldn’t we have Strip #1? I guess I’ll have to dig out my copy of The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book.

Glad to see a start over. I love this strip. Reruns and all.

gotta love flashback imagination!

30 years after C&H had started Calvin will already look like Mrs. Warmwood now!!

FIRST CALVIN & HOBBES

November 18 1985

Well, I am OCD. I need closure. I did not want to see the Calvin strip start over until the final Sunday “Let’s go exploring” strip. And then, when we start over, it’s got to be Calvin getting a tuna sandwich for the tiger he trapped.

I see, it started over, that’s the reason for the weird artwork.

Ahh, Miss Wormwood when she was still young and idealistic.

The ‘S’ in “His” looks like the Number 6. I’m not sure if somebody’s already pointed this out because I don’t read all the comments beforehand.

Spitballs I think?
